It's my first exam today, and on the off chance everything goes the shape of the pear, I want it on record that coming back to uni was the best choice ever. I really enjoy this lawyering thing. It really appeals to my lack of moral fibre, spurious reasoning capacity and my dishonest approach to interpersonal conflict. Also, being back at university means I spend, oh, half a day studying and then go play football. I can also wear a scarf and carry a leather satchel. Ooh, modish.
Incidentally, I've been thinking of starting a betting pool for results. We have five subjects: public law, contracts, criminal law, ethics and foundations of law. I figure we can get a poker hand out of that; a Pass being a Jack, High Distinction an Ace. Notice I assume nobody fails. Anyway, five dollar buy-in, dollar ante and then we bluff each other out. That way, if I get all passes, I still have five of a kind and an unbeatable hand, then use the pot to buy better notes for next session.
Fingers crossed.
